Lower-class citizens have access to magic for the first time, while other Luminates lose theirs forever. Austria and Hungary are at odds once more. Anna Arden did not know breaking the Binding would break the world. Anna thought the Praetheria were on her side, content and grateful to be free from the Binding. She thought her cousin Matyas's blood sacrifice to the disarm the spell would bring peace, equality, justice. She thought her future looked like a society that would let her love a Romani boy, Gabor.

As threat of war sweeps the region, Anna quickly discovers she can't solve everything on her own. Now there's only one other person who might be able to save the country before war breaks out.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CONSPIRACY SERIES VOLUME 2: Illuminati and Area 51 - 2 Books in 1 Featuring... *Illuminati*Area 51 2 Great Books in 1! Illuminati The word "Illuminati" has, in recent years, become a catch-all buzzword for conspiracy theories of all sorts. It is a whispered response to strange happenings and seeming coincidences, a screamed retaliation to imbalances of power, a chanting pulse to the unknown. Beyond this, "Illuminati" has become the punchline of a joke unheard; a sarcastic statement heard around the world - oh, it was the Illuminati, huh? The word has captured the attention of society's collective consciousness in a pervasive manner: but what is it? And how have we come to constantly have it on the tip of our tongues? "Illuminati"is a word which finds its roots in the Latin plural of the word illuminatus, which means "enlightened." The word itself was adopted by a group of individuals in eighteenth-century Bavaria, known as the Order of Illuminati, but it has since come to mean much more. With its name now attached to all kinds of secret societies, shadowy projects, and missions to take over the world, it is difficult to separate Illuminati fact from Illuminati fiction. The Illuminati has become a permeating presence whose reality and legends have become intertwined, nearly inseparable on an individual level. As far as whether or not the Illuminati still exists today - well, that's up to you to decide. Area 51 Since the Roswell Incident of 1947 rumors have circulated of alien spacecraft and alien bodies being recovered by government officials. While these claims relate primarily to Roswell they are sometimes attributed to other incidents as well. Many people who believe that the government is hiding the recovery of alien spacecraft and bodies also think that autopsies were carried out on the recovered alien bodies. The location of these autopsies is often thought to be the highly secretive base in the Nevada desert known as Area 51. However other theories claim that the crafts and alien bodies are stored at the less well-known Hanger 18 at the Wright- Patterson Airfield Base. For years the prospect of video footage, documents or photographs existing of these alien autopsies has tantalized believers and sceptics alike. In 1995 a sensational 17-minute film was broadcast supposedly showing these autopsies. However many contends that it is just another hoax. This video is not the only piece of evidence that has been produced purporting to show an alien autopsy. Many other images and stills from films have also been produced and debunked over the years. Over the next few chapters we will look at the main locations, events and stories that inevitably arise whenever people talk about alien autopsies.

Download or read book The Society of the Cincinnati written by Markus Hünemörder and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2006 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1783, the officers of the Continental Army created the Society of the Cincinnati. This veterans' organization was to preserve the memory of the revolutionary struggle and pursue the officers' common interest in outstanding pay and pensions. Henry Knox and Frederick Steuben were the society's chief organizers; George Washington himself served as president. Soon, a nationally distributed South Carolina pamphlet accused the Society of treachery; it would lead to the creation of a hereditary nobility in the United States and subvert republicanism into aristocracy; it was a secret government, a puppet of the French monarchy; its charitable fund would be used for bribes. These were only some of the accusations made against the Society. These were, however, unjustified. The author of this book explores why a part of the revolutionary leadership accused another of subversion in the difficult 1780s, and how the political culture of this period predisposed many leading Americans to think of the Cincinnati as a conspiracy.

Download or read book The President s Book of Secrets written by David Priess and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every president has had a unique and complicated relationship with the intelligence community. While some have been coolly distant, even adversarial, others have found their intelligence agencies to be among the most valuable instruments of policy and power. Since John F. Kennedy's presidency, this relationship has been distilled into a personalized daily report: a short summary of what the intelligence apparatus considers the most crucial information for the president to know that day about global threats and opportunities. This top-secret document is known as the President's Daily Brief, or, within national security circles, simply "the Book." Presidents have spent anywhere from a few moments (Richard Nixon) to a healthy part of their day (George W. Bush) consumed by its contents; some (Bill Clinton and George H. W. Bush) consider it far and away the most important document they saw on a regular basis while commander in chief. The details of most PDBs are highly classified, and will remain so for many years. But the process by which the intelligence community develops and presents the Book is a fascinating look into the operation of power at the highest levels. David Priess, a former intelligence officer and daily briefer, has interviewed every living president and vice president as well as more than one hundred others intimately involved with the production and delivery of the president's book of secrets. He offers an unprecedented window into the decision making of every president from Kennedy to Obama, with many character-rich stories revealed here for the first time.
